Chapter 4.2 (textbook: “Molecular Cell Biology” 6 ed, Lodish section: 4.5-4.6) DNA Replication, Repair, and Recombination Cell division - mitosis S-phase is tightly regulated by kinases Mitosis can be divided into six phases Mitosis can be divided into six phases Meselson-Stahl experiment Proved that DNA replication is semi-conservative There are various “problems” that must be overcome for DNA polymerase to copy DNA a DNA polymerases are unable to melt duplex DNA in order to separate the two strands that are to be copied a All known DNA polymerases can only elongate a preexisting DNA or RNA strand (the primer) and are unable to initiate chains a The two strands in the DNA duplex are opposite in chemical polarity, but all DNA polymerases catalyze nucleotide addition at the 3′-hydroxyl end of a growing chain, so strands can grow only in the 5′ to 3′ direction. Hence, the 3’ – 5’ strand (lagging strand) synthesis cannot be straight forward a For linear DNA: The ends (telomere regions) of the 3’-5’ strands cannot be primed. Hence, the replicate strand would be shorter than the parent strand Replication fork contains a leading-strand and laggingstrand Enzymes involved in replication 1: Helicase unwinds parental DNA strands 2: Single strand regions are bound and stabilized by multible copies of the protein RPA (stabilizes a DNA conformation optimal for processing by DNA pol δ) 3: Leading strand synthesis via an enzymatic complex: DNA Pol δ, PCNA, and Rfc 4: Primers for lagging strand synthesis (RNA, DNA) are synthesized by a complex of DNA pol α and Primase resulting in a mix RNA-DNA primer 5: The 3’ end of each RNA-primer is then bound by a PCNA-Rfc-Pol δ complex, which extends the primer and synthesize most of each Okazaki fragment (incl proofreading!) 6: Finally the Okazaki fragments are then joined into a complete lagging strand by the enzyme “Ligase” Synthesis of the lagging strand primase DNA pol α DNA pol δ ligase Replication is bidirectional DNA replication begins at specific chromosomal sites called replication origins Consensus sequence of the minimal bacterial replication origin Replication origins, regardless of organism, are (1) unique DNA segments with multiple short repeats, (2) recognized by multimeric origin-binding proteins, (3) usually contain an A-T rich stretch Type I topoisomerases relax DNA by nicking and then closing one strand of duplex DNA The role of topoisomerases in DNA replication a DNA molecules can coil and bend in space, leading to changes in topology such as formation of supercoils a Topoisomerases are enzymes that control DNA topology and perform essential functions at several different steps in replication Replicated circular DNA molecules are separated by type II topoisomerases Linear daughter chromatids also are separated by type II topoisomerases Telomerase prevents shortening of lagging strands during eukaryotic DNA replication Mammalian Figuretelomere 12-13 repeat: sequence (TTAGGG)*1000*X DNA damage and repair and their role in carcinogenesis a A DNA sequence can be changed by copying errors introduced by DNA polymerase during replication and by environmental agents such as chemical mutagens or radiation a If uncorrected, such changes may interfere with the ability of the cell to function a Hence, several mechanisms to repair DNA damage have evolved a All carcinogens cause changes in the DNA sequence --> DNA damage and/or failing repair can lead to cancer development a Prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA-repair systems are analogous General types of DNA damage and causes Proofreading by DNA polymerase corrects copying errors DNA Pol α Schematic model of the proofreading function of DNA polymerase Chemical carcinogens react with DNA directly or after activation, and the carcinogenic effect of a chemical correlates with its mutagenicity Deamination leads to point mutations Base excision repair of T*G mismatch Mismatch excision repair in human cells Formation of thymine-thymine dimers Sunlight Space radiation Nucleotide excision repair in human cells NB: Transcription-coupled repair Nonhomologous end-joining Double-strand break repair Double-strand breaks frequently lead to genetic aberration ... And cancer Recombinatorial repair of collapsed Replication fork Double-strand break repair Homologous recombination (CrossOver) Double-strand break repair a Recombination provides a means by which a genome can change to generate new combinations of genes (pro-evolution) a Homologous recombination allows for the exchange of blocks of genes between homologous chromosomes and thereby is a mechanism for generating genetic diversity a Recombination occurs randomly between two homologous sequences and the frequency of recombination between two sites is proportional to the distance between the sites
